Description
Situated on Rose Fields, this stunning property was built just four years ago by the renowned Rose Builders and showcases the elegance and appeal of the sought-after Berkeley design — a perfect blend of modern living and timeless charm.
Formerly a four-bedroom home, it has been lovingly reconfigured into a three-bedroom layout to create a truly impressive principal suite, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and an enlarged en-suite shower room. This alteration has been carefully designed so the property can be easily reverted to its original four-bedroom arrangement if desired.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by an elegant entrance hallway, complete with a convenient downstairs WC. The dining room offers classic sophistication, enhanced by a beautiful bay window that fills the room with natural light. Adjacent, the living room combines comfort and style, featuring a characterful log burner set within a secondary bay window — the perfect spot for cosy evenings.
The heart of the home is the impressive kitchen dining room, where a striking feature island takes centre stage, surrounded by sleek integrated appliances and complemented by bi-folding doors opening to the landscaped rear garden. A separate utility room adds further practicality to the layout.
Upstairs, alongside the luxurious principal suite, the second bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while a stylish family bathroom serves the remaining bedroom.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden offers a peaceful retreat, having been professionally landscaped, while the detached double garage and extensive driveway provide ample parking for multiple vehicles.
